INSTALL IN 3 EASY STEPS

1. CLEAR: Clear the area of any sharp stones and other debris that might damage the Plantex®.
Remove the bulk of the existing weeds.
2. LAY: Rake the area flat, and then roll out Plantex® over the cleared soil area. Edges can be buried and joins overlapped to cover large areas. Allow 10cm overlap. Cut an X-shaped incision into the Plantex® with a pair of sharp scissors or a knife in the area where you would like to plant plants. For beds with existing plants, gently lift plants through X-shape incision made as described above.
3. COVER: To extend the working life of the Plantex®, cover with at least 5cm of mulch, decorative covering of bark or gravel. On slopes it is advisable to use a heavier covering material. Use wooden strips to prevent the covering layer from sliding down. Water and feed plants as normal.
